THURSDAY EVENING, MAY IL.

EDITOR HANDY SPEAKS OUT.-Mr. Nj. I.
Handy, editor of the Philadelphia Daily
NeiVs, was at the st. James yesterday, on
his way to Boston, where he is 70 attend the
banquet to the staff and owners ofthe Globe.
Mr.. Handy is q stalwart republican, but he
expressed himself freely on the action OF
the late Kentucky Convention. Its en-
dorsement of President Cevelands course y
said he, sis about as equivocal as was the
Scotch verdict. Not guilty, but don't do 1t
again. The real platform OF that conven--
ton was Henry Watterson's speech, which
was punciuatsd with clauses denounclDg
Cleyelands civil service reform sham. by
the way, it is about time that it was de-
nounced heartily by men of common sense.
The democratic party abhors Cleveland Z
course, and there are very few men IN the
republican party who believe in his kind OF
civil service reform. The surest way for
Cleveland to re.eect himself would be by de-
ing what he was elected to do-turn the re-
publicans out of Office and replace them
with competent, honest democrats. There
are plenty of them. The democrats ale
wild at him for his mugwumpism, while ne
gets no thanks from the republicans for
keeping members of their party IN power.
Most of those so retained are Dnrnacies VINO
are despised in the republican ranks ior
holding on to their offices under whag snouiu
30 a hostile administration rake the
case CT the Marshalship of the Eastern Dis
triet of Pennsylvania. When Cleveland
WAS elected any one with q bit Of political
gun ption would have bet dollars to cents
that Marshall Kerns would be one OF the
first men to be removed from his place.
Rut half of ClevelanG's administration has
gone by and yet Kerns is slill in Office. IT
Cleveland can't see his way to appointing
Sam Randall's candidate, why don't he APP
point some other good democrat? am
republican, but believe that there are hon
est, capable democrats, just as there are
honest, capable republicans; and believe
in standing by my colors, and SO believing l
think it is the duty OF others to do the same.
If President Cleveland takes any comfort
out of the endorsement he got in Kentucky,
all have to say is that heis easily pleased "

Furious Flames.

A fire broke out in Friclman's cigar
factory on East Fourth street at IL
o'clock Monday evening, and when tho
fire department arrived upon the scene
the ,,lurid tongues of flame were shooting
from every door and window in the
lower story Of the building, Illuminating
the entire street. Two streams Of water
were turned upon the burning structure
and in ten minutes the fire was out. The
hose boys walked right through the
building like old veterans, carrying
their pipes up the stairs and into the
smoking apartments. The fire was put
out SO quick that the adjoining building
was not even scorched. the flames being
confined to their place of origin. The
building belonged to Chas. hike Of Ash
land, Wis, and was uninsured. The
stock, consisting of tabaccos, tools, ETC.,
! was insured in the American Central by
Agent G. s. Smith for $500, and is a total
loss. The origin OF the fire is unknown.
